Someone at a gas station last Saturday saw a show on TV the night before about how the Slingshot was built and it later showed a top from a aftermarket company. He didn't remember the name of the show.

Anyone know anything about it? I can't find anything online.

I watched that same show, but unfortunately it wasnt the Slingshot being built. It was How Its Made ~ Dream Cars and it featured the KTM Crossbow.

The soft top they show at the end is something they produce and you get with it. It looks pretty cool. You should be able to find it online somewhere.

Ah ok. Thanks.

 

[TravAZ]

Here it is. See 20min mark for top.

Someone was told by a Polaris rep that a aftermarket roof was already being developed. After seeing that clip it looks totally possible.

Thanks.

I have no interest in a top, but it looks fairly easy to develop and install.

Some good sewing and clips to attach over the roll bars and stretch it to attachments on the windscreen. You could even add a support pole from a cup holder to the top to help with stability and height.

Simple as a boat cover.

It's a must have option out here in Miami with all the rain and heat. Today was 95 degrees and I was melting at stop lights.

You would need a taller windscreen to make it possible. I'm whopping 5ft 6in tall and my eye level are still above the windshield.

With all the talk of being tall and mirrors, windshield too low etc.. Glad i'm not the only short one on here! BUT I got ya beat by 2"

I'm not quite 5 ft tall. Only 4' 11 1/2" which is one of my major reasons for getting a SS. Great news is that I have sat in a couple and the seat does move forward enough that I can push the clutch pedal to the floor.

I just hope I fit. Im 300 Pounds and 6'3" tall. It would suck to wait this long and can't get in it.

Hogg stated he's 6'1", 300 lbs and had plenty of room in the cockpit.

Rab, I'm 6'4" and weigh about 255. Getting in takes some gymnastics but once there felt very comfortable. Part of my problem is that I'm not as flexible as I once was. Gotta love getting older...:yuck:

 

[SlingJockey]

I'm 6' 2" 300, big build, not a huge gut and got in and out easily and felt very comfortable in the SL. I do worry a little that the top of the windshield is a little low and will be deflecting directly at eye level though.

Now that everyone stares at me I am wanting to go hit the gym.

here is my proto its getting Red powder coat and a snap on black sunbrella top on monday..... what do you guys think?

 

[SAINT SS]

Definitely interesting, best looking one yet IMO. Kinda dunebuggyish. How does it attach up front by the mirrors? How difficult is it getting in and out?
